REsuklNe The TEACHER.


A Libel On School -Marns, and the Ie'
male Sex In General.
Anumber of Dakota counties have
lady suporintendents OF schools. While
one of them was recently making the
rounds Of the schools in accordance
with law she drove up to ono little
sehool-house on tho prairie at about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon aud
found the scholars all out playing
about the yard. Two Of the boys were
indulging in a fight another pair were
learning to chew tobacco, while the
others were playing marbles for keeps
auE adjusting an old but large and
corpulent toakettle to d dogs tail.
The superintendent learned that there
had been no school so far that day,
and when she went into the school
house she said to the young lads
teacher somewhat severely:

A MEDICINE sQUAV


The Faith Of Her Foli6wers n Slow
Recitatlye Incantation.
When an Indian is wounded By an
arrow his first act is to seizs It and,
with q quick pull, tear It ont Of the
wound, as the longer the arrow re-
mains therein the more difficult and
painful Is the operation Of extraction.
The wounded white man, Abbott, neg
lected this precaution, and when he
tried TO pull it out afterwards. the M
row broke, leaving The head in the
wound. ASome DAYS after the tight.
Abbott being in great pain. he and his
friends were visited BY i party Of Con-
Cows. who told them that the great
medicine squaw OF the tribe was com
ing, and that she would pull tho ar
row out Of his breast without causing
him any pain.
In few moments she appeared, arr
rayed in al the paraphernalia Of her
high position among the Con-Cows.
and escorted by large retinue of
friends and satellites. Advancing with
slow steps and dignified countenance,
she halted opposite Abbott and with
an imperious gesture ordered him to
rise, open the bosom Of his shirt. and
expose the wound--all OF which he
did, affected and impressed, in spite Of
himself, by her earnestness and dig
nifty. Looking with odeep and search
ing glance at the wound, she began in
a slow recitative an incantation adj
dressed to some invisible being. accom-
panied by an equally slow chant on
the part of her companions.
When thiShad continued for some
time, and the spirit was apparently
conciliated by these preliminary steps,
she slowly extended her arm toward
the wound as if grasping an invisible
arrow, and as quickly withdrew her
arm, as if the effort TO pull the arrow
out of the wound had been Intellectual.
The chant grew stronger; and slowly
and with firm purpose the arm was
again extended and withdrawn-this
time with strong effort, as if .ihe
arrow was deeply imbedded In The
flesh. Again and again was the net
repeated. her face Aocoming sterncr
and granderin her undincning parpose
to overcome all resistance.
As her efforts increased so did tho
chant Of her companions, gradually
swelling into a deafening din, until,
with her brows knit and her resolute
will shining out Of her eyes, she gave
q mighty pull-and the chant
was one Of triumph and exultation
and the bystanders pressing around
her beheld, bloody and with sbreds Of
torn flesh still adhcring to it, tho ar
row head in her open handl
Glancing with ineffable superiority
over the whites. she slightly tossed her
head. as if such an operation was by
no means wonderful one for her to
preform, and turning about she re-
traced her way back, amid tho ap-
plause Of her awe-struck comppan-
IONS
To say that the whites were astonish.
ed would hardly express their feelings
but the most astonished Of all was Alb.
bott who remained standing. looking
open-mouthed at her retrcating form
for he still telt the arrow head in his
breast, where it remained at last ad-
vises dispite the efforts of some Of the
best physicians in San Francisco, who
have at last told him that any attempt
to cut it out at this late day would en-
danger his life. "a. 9. Tassin, IN OUer-

How They Telegraph in China.

The Chinese Government officials
have lines of wires from Shanghai to
the north and south well established
and in good working order With re-
gard to the difficulty Of telegraphing.
as stated in morning paper that pub
lished an interview with Captain
Brady Of Philadelphia, that is all non
sense. Since 1873 there has been a
cable between Hong Kong and Shang-
hal. Other lines are in working
order, and there has never been any
difficulty experienced by the Chinese
in sending messages. 1t requires
about 1000 characters to conduct tho
everyday ordinary transactions in
Chinese mercantile atftirs. A book
containing the characters. numbered
from to 1000 has been printed by
the telegraph authorities. and if a man
wants to send a message he simply
wires numbers representing the char
acters, and the receiver marks down
the numbers at the end of the line.
Reference is made to the book. and The
characters arc ascertained. This sys-
tenn has been working for the last
thirteen years, and has given
satisfaction to the Chinese. = San
